Slow Cooker Tangy Pork Chops

There is nothing like a picture of a big slab of meat to make you want to use this recipe, right? Here was the other option:

Is it any better surrounded by delicious food, if it is half eaten? Oh well. Just trust me, this was a great recipe for pork chops. I had pork chops in my freezer, but I am a little tired of the cream of mushroom soup version that I usually use. So I found a new recipe on allrecipes, and I was so happy with the way this turned out! The flavor was a little different, which was refreshing. It was still very easy to prepare, and my house smelled delicious when we got home from church. We ate ours with baked potatoes and green veggies and it worked really well together. I doubled the sauce, which was totally unnecessary, but if you decide to do that, you could serve this over rice and there would be a lot of the sauce for your rice.Slow Cooker Tangy Pork Chopsadapted from: allrecipes.com1/4 c. olive oil (I'm out, so I used Canola)1 c. chicken broth2 cloves garlic, minced1 Tbsp. paprika1 Tbsp. garlic powder1/2 Tbsp. chicken boullion1 tsp. oregano1 tsp. basil1 Tbsp. dried, chopped onionsalt and pepper4 pork chopsIn your slow cooker, combine the oil, chicken broth, minced garlic, paprika, garlic powder, chicken boullion, oregano, basil and onion and stir it all together. With a sharp knife, cut slits into the top of each pork chop and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Place the pork chops in the slow cooker and spoon some of the sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours. Occasionally baste your pork chops with the sauce while they are cooking.
